Application Information ACK-E-2009
Water Pump
The water pump will on if compressor is on during cooling cycle. The pump will remain on for at least 5 minutes
after the compressor is off.
During mode change from cooling to non-cooling mode, the pump will on for minimum 5 minutes. During
defrost cycle, the pump will on and will on for another 5 minutes once the defrost cycle is terminated.
Water Level Switch
This normally close switch is to detect faults in water pump system. It will confi rm for 30 seconds for switch
open and 60 seconds for switch close.
Once switch is confi rmed open, it will force compressor to cut off. If the switch is closed within 5 minutes, the
compressor is allowed to cut in. If the switch does not close for more than 5 minutes, the system will warn user
regarding the fault, the compressor is not allowed to cut in. If the switch is confi rmed opened twice within 30
minutes, the system assumes there are faults.
Phase Sequencer
The unit with Scroll Compressor can only rotate in one direction. For this reason, a protective device (phase
sequencer) is fi tted to prevent incorrect wiring of the electrical phases. When the three phases are not connected
correctly, the phase sequencer operates, and the unit will not start. This devise is located in the control box of
the outdoor unit.
The following table shows the LED indicator light for phase sequencer under normal operation and fault
conditions.

ACK-E-2009 Application Information
(2) Installation Of Outdoor Unit
As condensing temperature rises, evaporating temperature rises and cooling capacity drops. In order to achieve
maximum cooling capacity, the location selected for outdoor unit should fulfi ll the following requirements:
Install the condensing (outdoor) unit in a way such that hot air distributed by the outdoor condensing unit
•
cannot be drawn in again (as in the case of short circuit of hot discharge air). Allow suffi cient space for
maintenance around the unit.
Ensure that there is no obstruction of air fl ow into or out of the unit. Remove obstacles which block air
•
intake or discharge.
The location must be well ventilated, so that the unit can draw in and distribute plenty of air thus lowering
•
the condensing temperature.
A place capable of bearing the weight of the outdoor unit and isolating noise and vibration.
•
A place protected from direct sunlight. Otherwise use an awning for protection, if necessary.
•
The location must not be susceptible to dust or oil mist.
•
Installation Clearance
Outdoor units must be installed such that there is no short circuit of the hot discharge air or obstruction to
•
smooth air fl ow. Select the coolest possible place where intake air should not be hotter than the outside
temperature (max. 45˚C).
ALL MODELSABCD
Minimum Distance300 mm1000 mm300 mm500 mm
CAUTION : If the condensing unit is operated in an atmosphere containing oils (including machine oils), salt (coastal area),
sulphide gas (near hot spring, oil refi nery plant), such substances may lead to failure of the unit.
24
Application Information ACK-E-2009
(3) Refrigerant Piping
Maximum Piping Length and Maximum Number of Bends
When the pipe length becomes too long, both the capacity and reliability drop. As the number of bends
increases, system piping resistance to the refrigerant fl ow increases, thus lowering the cooling capacity,
and as the result the compressor may become defective. Always choose the shortest path and follow the
recommendation as tabulated below:
Align the centre of the piping and tighten the fl are nut suffi ciently with fi ngers.
•
Finally tighten the fl are nut with torque wrench unit the wrench clicks.
•
When tightening the fl are nut with torque wrench, ensure the direction for tightening follows the arrow on
•
the wrench.
(4) Wiring
Electrical Connections
Wiring regulations on wire diameters differ from country to country. Please refer to your LOCAL ELECTRICAL
CODES for fi eld wiring rules. Be sure that installation is complied with such rules and regulations
.
General Precautions
Ensure that the rated voltage of the unit corresponds to the nameplate before carrying out proper wiring
•
according to the wiring diagram.
Provide a power outlet to be used exclusively for each unit. A power supply disconnects and a circuit
•
breaker for over current protection should be provided in the exclusive line.
All wiring must be GROUNDED to prevent possible hazards due to insulation failures.
•
All wiring must be fi rmly connected.
•
All wiring must not come in contact with the hot refrigerant piping, compressor or any moving parts of fan
•
motors.
Do not use joined and twisted wires for incoming power supply
•

Application Information ACK-E-2009
(5) Vacuuming and Charging
The pre-charged outdoor unit does not need any vacuuming or charging. However once it is connected, the
connecting pipe line and the indoor unit need to be vacuumed before releasing the R22/R407C/R410A from
the outdoor unit.
1. Open the service port core cap.
2. Connect pressure gauge to the service port.
3. Connect the line to vacuum pump. Open the charging manifold valve and turn the pump on. Vacuum to -0.1
MPa (-760mmHg) or lower. (Evacuation time varies by the pump but averagely in 1 hour).
